Halifax, NS – Eastlink's new flagship retail store is officially open for business. Located in the heart of the Spring Garden Road shopping district (on the corner of Spring Garden Road and South Park Street, across from the Public Gardens) the new, experiential store features a fully equipped HD and surround sound home theatre, complete with Eastlink’s Multi-Room DVR, where customers can experience the latest in home entertainment.

“We are thrilled to open this unique store and we think this location is ideal," said Deborah Shaffner, President and COO Eastlink.
